This current study is also examining a hypothesized model of relationship between social support, knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy in influencing breastfeeding practice.

In order to test the hypothesized model of relationship between social support, knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and breastfeeding practice, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used for the nonworking mothers and path analysis was used for the working mothers. The results showed that only knowledge has significant influence on breastfeeding practice among the non working mothers (beta= .21, p= .01). However among the working mothers, knowledge (beta= .23, p= .03), attitude (beta= .33, p= .01), and self-efficacy (beta= .45, p= .01) have significant influences on breastfeeding. Social support has no significant influence on breastfeeding in both types of mother. The results highlighted varying predictors of breastfeeding practice among working as compared to non working mothers. Nevertheless, MSG was seen as a suitable program to educate mothers in term of breastfeeding as the programme covers all the significant predictors found in this study. 2012-12 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/31963/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/31963/1/LinaHandayaniPFP2012.pdf application/pdf en public phd doctoral Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Education Faculty of Education
